FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, methods of making such inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) plays an important role in signal transduction in B cells and is a factor that contributes to the survival, differentiation, proliferation, and activation of B cells. There is currently a need for methods of treating diseases in which B cells or mast cells participate. Btk is also known to participate in mast cell activation and in the physiological functions of platelets. Therefore, Btk inhibitors are effective for the treatment of diseases in which B cells or mast cells participate, for example, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, thromboembolic diseases, and cancers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The methods described herein include administering to a subject in need a composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of one or more Btk inhibitor compounds described herein.

Prodrugs means any compound which releases an active parent drug according to Formula I in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of a compound of Formula I are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound of Formula I in such a way that the modifications may be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compounds.

Tautomers mean compounds produced by the phenomenon wherein a proton of one atom of a molecule shifts to another atom. Tautomers also refer to one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are readily converted from one isomeric form to another. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that other tautomeric ring atom arrangements are possible. All such isomeric forms of these compounds are expressly included in the present disclosure.

Isomers mean compounds having identical molecular formulae but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed stereoisomers. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed diastereomers, and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed enantiomers. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, the description is intended to include individual stereoisomers as well as mixtures.

Certain compounds of the present disclosure can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. Solvates refer to a complex formed by combination of solvent molecules with the compound of Formula I. The solvent can be an organic compound, an inorganic compound, or a mixture thereof.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts represent those salts which are, within the scope of medical judgement, suitable for use in contact for the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. They may be obtained during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the invention, or separately by reacting the free base function with a suitable mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, or sulfuric acid, or with an organic acid such as for example ascorbic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, fumaric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and the like. The acid function can be reacted with an organic or a mineral base, like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide.

Therapeutically effective amount means an amount of compound or a composition of the present invention effective in inhibiting Bruton's tyrosine kinase and thus producing the desired therapeutic effect.

As used herein, the term alkyl refers to a monovalent straight or branched chain, saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. For example, C₁₋₆ alkyl refers to any of the hexyl alkyl and pentyl alkyl isomers as well as n-, iso-, sec- and t-butyl, n- and iso-propyl, ethyl and methyl. Alkyl also includes saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals wherein one or more hydrogens are replaced with deuterium, for example, CD₃.

The term branched alkyl refers to an alkyl group as defined above except that straight chain alkyl groups in the specified range are excluded. As defined herein, branched alkyl includes alkyl groups in which the alkyl is attached to the rest of the compound via a secondary or tertiary carbon. For example, isopropyl is a branched alkyl group.

The term cycloalkyl refers to any monocyclic ring of an alkane having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. For example, C₃₋₆cycloalkyl refers to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl.

The term halogen refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine (alternatively referred to as fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo).

The term haloalkyl refers to an alkyl group as defined above in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with a halogen (i.e., F, Cl, Br and/or I). For example, C₁₋₆ haloalkyl refers to a C₁ to C₆ linear or branched alkyl group as defined above with one or more halogen substituents. The term fluoroalkyl has an analogous meaning except that the halogen substituents are restricted to fluoro. Suitable fluoroalkyls include the series (CH₂)₀₋₄CF₃.

The term C(O) or CO refers to carbonyl. The terms S(O)₂ or SO₂ refers to sulfonyl. The term S(O) or SO refers to sulfinyl.

The term aryl refers to phenyl, naphthyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, idenyl, dihydroindenyl and the like. An aryl of particular interest is phenyl.

The term heteroaryl refers to (i) a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring containing from 1 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O and S, or (ii) is a heterobicyclic ring selected from quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, and quinoxalinyl. Suitable 5- and 6-membered heteroaromatic rings include, for example, pyridyl (also referred to as pyridinyl), pyrrolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, thienyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isooxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, oxatriazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, and thiadiazolyl.

In Formula (I), A, B, G, R², and R³ are defined above in the Summary of the Invention section. The Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by methods well known in the art of organic chemistry. The starting material used for the synthesis of these compounds can be either synthesized or obtained from commercial sources, such as, but not limited to, China chemical companies or Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co.

Other methods for the synthesis of compounds described herein may be found in international Application Publication No. WO 2013/010868 A1, Liu, J. et al. ACS Medicinal Chemisty Letters 10 (2016) 198-203. The definitions of chemistry terms used in this application may be found in these reference (if not otherwise defined herein). As a guide the following synthetic methods may be utilized.

During the synthetic sequences, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This is achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in T. W Greene and P. G. M. Wutts “Protective groups in Organic Synthesis” 3rd Edition, John Wiley and Sons, 1999. The protective groups are optionally removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods well known in the art. The products of the reactions are optionally isolated and purified. If desired, using conventional techniques, but not limited to, filtration, distillation crystallization, chromatography and the like. Such materials are optionally characterized using conventional means, including physical constant and spectra data.

Compounds described herein may possess one or more sterocenters and each center may exist in the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diasterometic, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.

The Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula I can be, for example imidazo [1,5-a] pyrazine derivatives. Specifically, the Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula I can be, for example, compounds G, wherein R₁-R₂ have the previously defined meanings. A non-limiting example of a synthetic approach towards the preparation of compounds G can be prepared by the general synthetic route shown in Scheme I and Scheme II.

Referring to Scheme I, different amine (B) can be obtained by hydrogenation of aromatic nitrile, and then can be reacted with an appropriately amine protected amino acid in a solvent such as DMF, THE or DCM in the presence of a base such as TEA, DIPEA, DMAP and with different coupling reagents such as PyBOP, TBTU, EDCI or HATU to form intermediate C. Cyclization C can be used the condensation reagents like PCl₃ under heating conditions to provide the key intermediate D, subsequent bromination can be achieved using bromine or N-bromosussinimide in a solvent like DCM or DMF at appropriate temperature to obtain compounds of E, then react with appropriate boronic acid or pinacol ester in which FG is a functional group (e.g. ester, protected anilines, protected phenols, bromide), which then are derivatived by metal catalyst coupling reaction using appropriately substituted phenylboronic acid (corresponding boronic esters may also be used) directly affords the desired compounds G. In a typical procedure, a mixture of intermediates F, a copper catalyst (e.g. Cu(OAc)₂), base (e.g. TEA, DIPEA or the like) and an aryl boronic acid or aryl boronic ester in a suitable solvent such as DCM, or toluene to form compounds G (FG is converted to groups defined for XAr). Finally, deprotected Cbz with the compounds H give the unprotected amine which react with appropriate warheads R₂ with previously defined meanings, provided compounds of compound H.

Referring to Scheme II, compounds P can be obtained from another substrate, and the chemistry is similar with Scheme I, Methyl derivatives L can be prepared using trimethylboroxin in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst system and solvent, then key intermediates M was obtained by regioselective bromination or iodation with Br₂/I₂ or NBS/NIS, which then are derivatived by metal catalyst coupling reaction using appropriately substituted phenylboronic acid (corresponding boronic esters may also be used) affords a key intermediate N or directly affords the desired compounds O. The transformation from O to P is synthesized in a similar manner as before showed at Scheme I.

Alternatively, compound G (or O) can be obtained from compounds F (or N), in which FG is a functional group (e.g. ester, protected anilines, protected phenols, bromide) that can be easily converted to groups defined for XAr. Non-limiting examples of suitable functional groups in compounds F are a benzyl ether, dibenzyl anime, or methyl ester, which can be treated with base or Pd/C/H₂ to form the key intermediates F-1a, F-2a, F-3a (or N-1a, N-2a, N-3a), then form corresponding compounds G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4 (or O-1, O-2, O-3, O-4) at Scheme III.

The deprotection reactions for the protective groups of compound Gin Scheme IV are known and can be run by the methods described below. Examples here are (a) deprotection reaction under acid or basic conditions for Boc or Fmoc protecting group and (b) deprotection reactions based on hydrogenolysis for benzyl or Cbz protecting group. After deprotection with these conditions, coupling with, but not limited to, an acid chloride, such as, but not limited to, aryloyl chloride, completes the synthesis to provide compound G-b.

The present invention also embraces isotopically-labelled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, and ³⁶Cl respectively.

Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of Formula I (e.g. those labeled with ³H and ¹⁴C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated and carbon-14 isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labelled compounds of Formula I can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the schemes and/or in the examples herein below, by substituting and appropriate isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

Btk kinase activity was determined using a homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF) methodology. Measurements were performed in a reaction volume of 15 μL using 384-well assay plates. Kinase enzyme, inhibitor, ATP and 1 M peptide substrate were incubated in a reaction buffer compose of Hepes 50 mM (pH7.0), NaN3 0.02%, BSA 0.01%, Orthocanadate 0.1 mM. After one hour, the kinase reaction was quenched by the addition of Ep-labeled antibody and XL-665 in 1× Detection buffer containing 60 mM EDTA (Cisbio), and the mixture was allowed to incubate for one hour. The HTRF signal was measured on a multimode plate reader (EnVision® Multilabel Reader, Perkin Elmer) with an excitation wavelength (λ_(Ex)) of 330 nm and detection wavelengths (λ_(Em)) of 615 and 665 nm. Activity was determined by the ratio of the fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 615 nm. For each compound, enzyme activity as measured at various concentrations of compound, Negative control reactions were performed in the absence of inhibitor in two replicates and eight no enzyme controls were used to determine baseline fluorescence levels. IC₅₀S were obtained according to the equation: Y=100/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((Log IC50−X)*HillSlope)).

For BTK assay, [ATP]=80 μM, BTK=3.4 nM.

For LYN assay, [ATP]=20 M, LYN=0.12 n M. For LCK assay, [ATP]=20 M, LCK=0.2 nM. For BLK assay, [ATP]=20 μM, BLK=0.6 n M.

Calcium flux fluorescence-based assays were performed in aFDSS7000EX (Hamamatsu Photonics) fluorometric imaging plate reader according to manufacturer instructions. Compounds to be assayed were dissolved in DMSO, diluted to appropriate concentrations in Ca²⁺ buffer ranging from 0 to 10 μM (at a dilution factor of 0.1), added 5 μl (6×) to each well (the final DMSO concentration was 0.1% in each well). Then 12.5 μL 2× dye loading solution (Fluo-4 NW Calcium Assay Kits, Invitrogen) was added per well of a 384-well plate. Afterwards, actively growing Ramos cells (ATCC) in RPM1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS (Invitrogen) were washed and re-plated in assay buffer (from Fluo-4 NW Calcium Assay Kits, Invitrogen) to approximately 6.4×10⁶/ml (80000 cells/12.5 μL in 384-well plates). The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes, then at room temperature for an additional 30 minutes. The plates were now ready to be used in an experiment. Immediately after the transfer and a 10-s recording of baseline fluorescence, the compound treated cells were stimulated with a goat anti-human IgM antibody (10 g/ml; Jackson Immuno Research) and read in a FDSS for 240 seconds. Difference between the signal and that at baseline, designated adjusted relative fluorescence unit, was calculated by using a custom Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, Wash.) template to determine IgM-induced calcium influx and its inhibition by compounds. The table below show the result. Compounds having an activity designated as “A” provided an IC 50≤10 nM; Compounds having an activity designated as “B” provided an IC₅₀ 10-100 nM; Compounds having an activity designated as “C” provided an IC₅₀ 100-1000 nM.

Btk Occupancy In Vivo

For analysis of Btk occupancy in Babc/L mice following oral dosing of compounds after 4 hours. Isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with mouse peripheral blood separation kit (Hao Yang Biological Manufacture CO., LTD, Tianjin) were collected from Babc/L mice (1 ml blood from two mice). Spleens were processed to splenocytes followed by 5 min incubation in red blood cell lysing buffer (from mouse peripheral blood separation kit). PBMCs or splenocytes were then PCI-33380-labeled and lysates analyzed by fluorescent gel scanning as described in cellular assays. Compound 1 and 30 were achieved full occupancy at 5 mg/kg single oral dose in all Babc/L mice. Compound 5 and 27 were achieved full occupancy at 10 mg/kg single oral dose in all Babc/L mice.
